Unions, groups want OSHA to require steps to protect coronavirus workers
Nearly 30 unions and advocacy groups on Friday, March 13 urged the U.S. employee safety regulator to impose a suite of emergency measures to safeguard public-facing workers against the coronavirus.
In a letter, the groups asked the Operational Safety and Health Administration to build a list of workers in need of protection, provide training to help workers reduce their own exposure, and create a national exposure control plan.
